    "Canthan elite specs" are currently in development

    According to Robert, the Balance Team kinda branched out and became a Systems Team ; they seem to be busy working on Canthan elite specializations and some other things. This would explain the extreme lack of balancing these last few months.

    This is honestly a relief and I'm hoping we actually get nine fully developed elite specializations in the end : I know I'm being pessimistic but deep down, I do have a feeling that it will be gutted so they can work on other things (3 elite specs ? No new weapons ?)

    Thanks to Anet for being open about these features and communicating on them.

    Qadim Challenge Mode No Lamp

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 02:23 AM PST

    Hello Reddit and Guild Wars 2 raiders!

    We are here to bring you our most recent Challenge. QADIM CM NO LAMP (00:39 left on timer)

    Point of Views

    MightyTeapot's Multi Point of View Montage
    Mela's Tank/Lamp Banner Spellbreaker
    Plenyx's Insanity Kiter Deadeye

    DPS Report Kill Log

    Game plan:

    We disliked that the challenge mode in this boss fight isn't hard enough, so we decided to not get any extra help from releasing our allied Champions that are kept inside of the lamp or Zomorros himself, and kill every single enemy Champion that Qadim had in store for us with our own strength.

    We destroyed the Retaliation Pyre since most of the professions we were using were condition based, so having protection on the boss wasn't really going to bother us and we didn't get rid of the Stability Pyre since we had a way of getting rid of that during the breakbar. We had our Spellbreaker tanking the Hydra, the Destroyer and trying to make Qadim channel most of his attacks away from the group, while one of the Quickness Firebrands was tanking one Wyvern and a DPS Firebrand was tanking the second Wyvern in the last phase.

    The final tank setup was used because the lamp is much further away during the wyvern phase meaning that the lamp player doesn't get to attack the boss as much but seeing as the spellbreaker can just drop banners between lamp spawns and maintain uptime this didn't affect the group dps as much as sending another player.

    Not doing the lamp:

    Avoiding the lamp completely is impossible, since if no goes in, it starts pulling squad members towards it, and the longer it takes for someone to go in, the stronger the pull will become over time until you can't outrun it anymore.

    Because of that we decided to go in and then instantly break it, except the very last one, which we delayed breaking because that wasn't really convenient due to the lamp floating in mid air because of the platform not being there anymore as since Qadim fully destroys them in CM.

    Our Deadeye could still kill the floating lamp while kiting and then before the lamp pull starts happening the assigned person had to jump correctly and land into the green circle while gliding.
    Fortunately after the wyverns are defeated the trapped player is once again retrievable as the platforms respawn!

    TL:DR Raids are easy so we made them harder with a meme challenge

    Composition:

    We used a Spellbreaker so that he could provide an easy solution to getting rid of the Stability pulsing on the boss during the actual dps phase thanks to Winds of Disenchantment, while also providing banners and cc for every single breakbar.

    Kiter Deadeye was used to make the very long task of kiting the boss for the entire fight as simple as possible while also providing solid dps.

    Druid was pretty much irreplaceable for the amount of cc it brings and the value Spirits provide, and it was also our only actual sustained healing source.

    For Alacrity we had Double Righteous Rebel Condition Renegade, for Quickness we had 2 Condition Firebrands and for straight DPS we were using a Power Chronomancer that was also helping us with CC and pulls and finally 2 Extra Condition Firebrands also because of the Aegis they can provide in this fight, which is very valuable for dps uptime.

    Overall I would say it was a very safe but also aggressive composition.

    Squad Members:

    Sub Group 1

    Player Profession
    Mela Spellbreaker
    MightyTeapot Quickbrand
    Plenyx Deadeye
    Spinerek Condition Renegade
    Pathowe Condition Firebrand

    Sub Group 2

    Player Profession
    Rubik Druid
    Jester Quickbrand
    Leguama Chronomancer
    Mike Condition Firebrand
    Michael Condition Renegade

    This challenge was a lot of fun and it made for some entertaining streams, we hope you all enjoy.

    AFK farming is absolutely rampant, far more so than ever before. Is nothing being done about it?

    The Guild Wars 2 Raiding League - Random Draws - Qadim [7:37] First Place

    Posted: 15 Nov 2020 11:28 AM PST

    The Guild Wars 2 Raiding League - Random Draws

    DISCORD: https://discord.gg/dZUVtkF EVERYONE WELCOME TO JOIN

    Challenge: 10 randomly drawn core and elite specs

    Boss: Qadim

    Time: 7:37 min

    Place: 1st

    Log: https://dps.report/fn7Q-20201112-215629_qadim

    After the boss and comp is drawn you have 7 days to practice and to submit your best log during the kill run of 1 hour. 7 teams took the challenge, 5 managed to get a kill within the one hour. Kudos to everyone who took part.

    The drawn comp was:

    • Core Ranger - Sefik's PoV
    • Core Guardian - Vic's PoV
    • Core Necromancer - Linkazzatore's PoV
    • Core Revenant - My PoV
    • Core Engineer - Carnival
    • Core Elementalist - Narthex
    • Core Warrior - Captain Basch
    • Mirage - TwoSouls
    • Tempest - Leguama
    • Scrapper - Hwan

    The most noticable obstacle in this comp was the low amount of boon output. Our warrior was kiting and lamp was done by scrapper and guardian. The rev was the dedicated healer while the viper necro was helping with blood magic.

    After the boss and comp is drawn you have 7 days to practice and to submit your best log during the kill run of 1 hour. 7 teams took the challenge, 5 managed to get a kill within the one hour.

    During the actual season there are two bosses to kill within a week in a gold and silver league. The participation for this month was low because there are no points to win for the leaderboard, also fighting Qadim with this comp was not in the interest of many. For more information, how to participate or support the GW2 Raid League, visit the homepage or join the discord.

    Whole squad getting kicked after strike mission

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 12:30 AM PST

    I just did forging steel, and after the boss was killed, the leader kicked everyone out from the party on the way to the chest. Are the rewards retrievable somewhere else? And can you do anything besides reporting him?

    I hope Guild Hall decorations system will be used for Solo Player Housing in the future

    Posted: 15 Nov 2020 11:43 AM PST

    Hello!

    From what I've seen on Youtube videos, the Guild Hall Decorations system is actually amazing. I love how you can decorate a huge space of land with all the furniture and other cool items.

    However, as I am more of a solo player, I will never be able to use this feature. Even if I would join a Guild, I believe only the Guild Leader would have fun with the decorations system.

    This is why I would love to see a Player Housing for solo players with the same decorations system. I think it would actually be amazing.

    I know that this topic has been mentioned a lot of times on the forums but I really hope we will get a player housing system in the next expansion.

    What do you think? Is it possible we will get this feature in the future?

    Newcomers question: assistance in mage/ranged class choosing and server?))

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 02:40 AM PST

    Hey guys, decided to try Gw 2. If you don't mind, may I ask advice on 2 main questions as a newcomer: 1) I am trying to choose class and spec for pvp, I do like mage ranged dps, was thinking on mage-ele or necro. But have very small info, even though I do watch YouTube and some text guides. Which spec is preferable for PvP (open, arenas) mainly solo or small size pvp arenas?) I like nuke style, not slow dps, few strong skills to burst target. And please name a spec, not only class) 2) Which server has better online with lot of people doing activities? Looking for eu server. Thanks so much for people, who gonna answer!

    Drew my character like an angel !

    Very Casual Player,Noob-ish 51 year old here. PVE Need Help. Advanced my Warrior to 80 and Playing Spell Breaker. I keep bursting into white flames and dying when fighting with Pumpkin Smasher Hammer and Daggers. Seems to be some sort of overcharge but stop it or turn it off?

    Posted: 15 Nov 2020 12:44 PM PST

    I keep bursting into white smokish flames and dying / Defeat/ Return to Waypoint when fighting with Pumpkin Smasher Hammer and Daggers, Playing in Path Of Fire Desert Area. Seems to be some sort of overcharge but I can't figure out how to stop triggering it or Vent it,stop it or turn it off? What the hell am I doing wrong? I have googled and read forums and nobody else seems to have the issue so i am assuming I've missed something really basic by Skipping Levels to play the new area with my friends.

    Looking for a one trick class choice

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 04:48 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I'm currently getting back into Guild Wars 2 and was wondering which class might be best for an extremely casual player (playing the game like once or twice a week for about 5 to 6 hours). I want to do everything on that character, I'm not planning on picking up more classes don't have the time for it. Class wise I played all to 80 when I started the game out and like the Playstyle of every class. So no preferences, just no time anymore to maintain all of them.

    Another "Should I buy this" post, really sorry...

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 08:15 AM PST

    Honestly, the title covers it, but I've got "Missing Out!" syndrome heheh.

    I beta tested GW1 (*for several days), and left it when WoW was released, and never really came back to the GW world. Stopped WoW after about 5 years, hit it again for 6 months earlier this year (Classic), and just couldn't do it, but I really missed the MMORPG feel. So, I downloaded GW2, and started fooling around. I'm enjoying playing so far (only level 10 on a single toon), and I think I'll start to like it even more with bigger events in game, but I'm also getting a DDO-feel from the game, where you had to purchase a chapter of sorts, which gave you access to certain 'dungeons', and you ran them over and over as much as you could until your subscription for that pack ran out.

    We did that for a short while, and it was ok, but it grew annoying before long, and felt just like the daily grind in WoW when we left: hurry up and run this as many times as you can before the subscription runs out!! Get your money's worth!! I hated that after 3 or 4 months, and dropped the game completely.

    I understand about trying it before I buy it, but I'm concerned that the current HalfPrice deal on the expansion is "too good to miss!", and I'll regret not grabbing it in a few weeks if I really like the game. I'm looking at the Deluxe, because I'd like the extra character slot (2 because of both expansions?), but most of the rest just looks like cosmetics. Should I just stick with Standard if I buy at all, and just buy gems for slots? And finally, should I bother with buying now at all? How often do the packs go on sale? If I "miss" this deal, will I be 6 months grinding before another pops up?

    Thanks for tolerating!

    Trials and Tribulations of Guild Wars 2 for the last few years?

    Posted: 16 Nov 2020 06:46 AM PST

    Does anyone have a good recap for what has been going on with Arena.net. I'm looking around and see people being laid off. The company got sold.

    The Steam version got pushed back for months. Now it looks like they are in a desperate push to get more Chinese players in the game.

    This doesn't even touch on what's happening in the game and meta.

    Can someone fill in a returning player that hasn't played in 2 years? Sounds like a lot going on.

    Thinking about making a GW2 buddy website and need ideas!

    Posted: 15 Nov 2020 09:54 AM PST

    I am a software engineer and I am thinking about making a one stop shop for gw2 needs (daily checklist that you can edit, goal board, maps with ability to edit with routes, etc...) and yes I know there are things similar to this, i just want something a little more user friendly. It will be using the gw2 dev api so that you can access your account information as well as being able to log in so that everything you do can be saved. So the real question is... what is something that you would love to have easily accessible while playing gw2 for organization and quality of life? Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!
